The Vancouver Queer Film Festival Centrepiece Presentation: Bonus Track
Daydreaming through class every day about crafting his big radio hit–with the failing grades to show for it, 16-year-old songwriter George longs to break free of his parent’s expectations and the small English town they call home. Inspiration arrives when Max, the son of a world-famous rockstar, enrolls in George’s school and recognizes the megawatt talent hidden behind George’s teenage awkwardness. As their friendship deepens and their creative collaboration blossoms, George and Max are thrust into the spotlight while navigating the complexities of a possible first love.
Experience the exhilaration of self-discovery in this charming and energetic directorial debut from Julia Jackman with script and story by Mike Gilbert and Josh O’Connor (Challengers), set to a dynamite soundtrack of 2000s Brit rock and an original earworm by Olly Alexander.
